There was discussion about the current health care bills making their way through Congress. Should Coffee Party USA offer an official statement? If so, what should we say? Bobby will craft a suggested statement and offer it to the Board of Directors Facebook page for discussion.

The meeting adjourned at 8:41 pm ET. Conversation continued in a working session.

Respectfully submitted,

Charlotte Coyle

Secretary, Coffee Party USA Board of Directors

Addendum May 19

On April 12, 2017, on the Board of Directors Facebook page, Vince Lamb presented the Partnerships Work Group formal Partnerships Agreement they have created.

The Board of Directors is asked to approve the agreement (as amended by Jeanene Louden) and send the draft to our attorney for further input. Bobby Rodrigo seconded.

On May 19, the proposal was approved with 8 Yeas and 1 Abstention. The Partnership Agreement was sent to the Coffee Party attorney.
